Job-Hunting

The more and more I read about job-hunting,the more I am drawn to the idea of sharing my experiences with the world.  The question, from an economics standpoint, is basically one of cost-benefit analysis.  What are the costs of sharing my experiences versus the benefits?  

As it stands, it seems only fair that I should share my experiences with other individuals as I have been met with some very friendly help on sites such as LinkedIn and the Actuarial Outpost.  I think the conclusion that I've come to is that, as long as I can help other people in their job search, I will most likely be helping myself.  

This point makes me think, once again, about the fact that true altruism may not actually exist... but, for now... I'll just do what feels right.

  2. Haha. Not quite man. I'm way too busy for that. But, I am gonna be leading the way on a new Veteran organization at GMU this fall. I want to share my experiences with Vets so I'm gonna do what I can to help out--unfortunately there are only so many hours in the day!
